Cantilever shelving on compact mobile bookcases made to fit into less space

With the existence of the Internet and improved technology advancing at a high-rate of speed, we can now access information on a wide range of topics faster than ever before. Some may say it has made the old way of gathering information such as reading it from book unnecessary, even obsolete. To their credit, libraries have tried to keep pace with technology by making reference materials such as periodicals accessible through an online database or offering books in an electronic format. Despite their best efforts, however, the range of accessibility that the World Wide Web offers users is unmatched. Add to that the number of materials that go unaccounted for each year, and it's easy to see why libraries find it hard to compete. For this reason, many institutions have taken to modernizing themselves with cantilever shelving on compact mobile bookcases. In addition to serving as a place for storing books in a neat and organized fashion, they create space for library growth because they can be made to fit into a smaller footprint for increased storage capacity. This is made possible with the assistance of an electronic push button or three-spoke turn handle, located on the outer panel of the shelving. As the shelves are condensed into less space, idle floor space once used to accommodate access aisles is instead turned into viable storage space.
